I agree this is a beautiful calendar. The 2011 was all sparrows. The
photos were exceptional and the text was lengthy and informative. I think
that in the past American Bird Conservancy members received it as well as
ABA members. I have gotten it for two years and it was one piece of
unsolicited mail that was very much appreciated --- and free.

Subject: [mou-net] Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program Birding
Calendar Offered Free
I had a request to post this information. Since I have received this
calendar in the past and know of its excellent quality, I thought our
MOU-Net birders would be interested in receiving it.

The Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program is again developing its
next bird calendar for Louisiana to be distributed to birders for free. The
2012 calendar will focus on 12 of the best birding sites across coastal
Louisiana We're taking a different approach for 2012 because so many
recipients of past calendars have written us to tell us that they are
interested in coming to Louisiana to bird. So we decided to take a break
from developing calendars that give specific life histories of a particular
group of birds and do something a little different. Of course the calendar
will include beautiful photographs of some of our most colorful friends as
in the past.
Did you know that Louisiana's geographic position along major migratory
pathways makes it an important stopover for transient migrants; that
Louisiana's vast expanse of marsh, swamp, and bottomland hardwoods makes
this area important to a number of nesting species of birds; that thousands
upon thousands of temperate migrants spend their winter months here in
Louisiana. They all depend on the productive habitats of Louisiana where
they feed, rest, and in some cases nest.
To increase awareness and appreciation for Louisiana's natural habitats, we
are developing again this year a calendar to be distributed to interested
birders for free. This calendar is designed to promote awareness of
Louisiana's birding opportunities.
To obtain a copy of this calendar for free, email us at rich...@btnep.org
and provide us with your name and address. In the past we have
partnered with the American Birding Association to distribute the calendar
to members of ABA, however this year we are working with individual
ornithological societies, so ABA members are not guaranteed a copy of the
calendar for 2009. So contact us directly. Don't put it off. Contact us now
to ensure that you receive a copy of the 2012 calendar.
Thanks,
